****UPDATE REQUESTED****
None ^ | 08/28/2009 | PeteePie

The biggest game of the pre-season and Armed Forces Network isn't sharing it with the troops in Iraq. Any chance someone can start an live update thread?

For the record, I'm retired military working as a contractor over here and I am speaking on behalf of some fine war fighters from the 77th Brigade, 427th MCT Fort Dix.

Isn't "big preseason game" an oxymoron?

You need to find have an internet connected PC with the Slingbox software and find someone stateside with with a Singbox set-up who has access to the game. Once you make the handshake between your PC and their box you can be channel surfing real time.

Is “war fighters” the PC (socialist) term for soldiers?
What idiot thought that term up? What’s wrong with “troops” or “soldiers”?

Maybe, but to listen to the ESPN gurus and other assorted media types, the sun will rise tomorrow based only on the merits of THIS game./s

Their battalion is HQ’d there but these guys are reservists out of Norristown PA. One of my fellow contractors is from Harrisburg, hense the intense interest and hightened frustration with not being able to keep up with this game. Got a score by any chance?
